[edit] Logo [1]

An inverted version of the BR symbol was used on Sealink's funnels and flags. This was because:

  1. The inverted arrows make an "S" for Sealink when in that direction.
  2. While railway passes left to left, ships have to pass right to right, so this version waas more accurate.

The symbol was white on blue.


Non-free / fair use media rationale - non-free logo for Sealink

Source

Article

Sealink

Portion used

The entire logo is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image.

Low resolution?

The logo is a size and resolution sufficient to maintain the quality intended by the company or organization, without being unnecessarily high resolution.

Purpose of use

The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing Sealink, a subject of public interest. The significance of the logo is to help the reader identify the organization, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the organization, and illustrate the organization's intended branding message in a way that words alone could not convey.

Replaceable?

Because it is a logo there is almost certainly no free equivalent. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary.

Other information Use of the logo in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy, logo guidelines, and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.
